Elizabeth I

Life and beginnings

Elizabeth I was born on 7 September 1533 and died on 24 March 1603. She was the only surviving child of Henry VIII and Anne Boleyn. When she was two, the marriage was annulled, her mother was executed, and Elizabeth was declared illegitimate. Henry restored her to the succession when she was ten. After Henry died in 1547, her half-brother Edward VI ruled until 1553 and tried to leave the crown to Lady Jane Grey. That will was set aside. Mary became queen, and during Mary’s reign Elizabeth was imprisoned for nearly a year on suspicion of supporting Protestant rebels. The guide calls her the last of the Tudors and says she reigned for 44 years. The biography dates the reign from 17 November 1558 until her death. Forty-four years is the guide’s count. The days are the biography’s.^{[1] [4]}

She succeeded on Mary’s death in 1558 and ruled by counsel, especially William Cecil, whom she made Baron Burghley. One of her first acts was an English church of which she was supreme governor. That arrangement, later called the Elizabethan Religious Settlement and carried out from 1559 to 1563, became the Church of England. People expected her to marry. She did not, and she is sometimes called the Virgin Queen. The guide says she refused the limits of her time. The unmarried reign is the fact. The slogan is later.^{[1] [2] [4]}

Defining achievements

The guide says that under her England went from a small country to a major player, that it damaged Spain’s armada, founded early settlements in North America, that her privateers dominated the seas, that her merchants laid a foundation for the East India Company, and that her policies left room for Shakespeare. Those are the guide’s list. The biography’s lead, as read here, centers the succession, the church, and the refusal to marry. It does not narrate the armada battle by battle. This essay does not add a victory date the lead does not give. The published Spain essay is an earlier monarchy, not this queen’s fleet. It is not linked as her opponent.^{[1] [4]}

The Kingdom of England, on its history page, runs from 927, when Athelstan held the whole of England, until 1 May 1707, when it joined Scotland as the Kingdom of Great Britain. Elizabeth’s reign sits inside that kingdom. It is not the state of 1707. The published England essay is the civilization whose guide runs from the Plantagenets through the Tudors toward the British Empire. The published Great Britain essay is the later empire. She is the Tudor queen, not the imperial factory.^{[3] [4]}

Legacy and interpretation

The biography says her reign gave its name to the Elizabethan era. The guide’s picture is a monarch, a queen, and a woman who would not be limited. Both are judgments about a long reign. The church settlement of 1559 to 1563 is a dated arrangement. The era-name is a later label. She was succeeded by a first cousin; the lead breaks off before the name. This essay does not finish that sentence from memory.^{[1] [2]}

The simplified Chinese URL for this leader still serves the English article. There is no localized heading to copy. The codex Chinese title is the ordinary reading of Elizabeth I, and the essay says that it is not a translated H1. The guides list one leader entry. Queen and woman are not two personas.^{[4] [5]}

A closer look

The ability, Royal Monopoly, gives unlimited trade-route range, a great work when a settlement is founded on another continent, more movement to naval units and to embarked settlers and merchants, cheaper merchants and settlers, and less combat strength for land units as ages pass. The historical merchants and the East India Company are the guide’s sentence. An unlimited route and a great work on a new continent are rules. They are not the religious settlement, and a penalty to land units is not the armada. The agenda, Trade Agreement, improves the relationship with civilizations that have more trade routes than she does and worsens it with those that have as many or fewer. A count of routes is not Burghley, and it is not the decision not to marry. Yields stay on the guide.^{[2] [4]}

In Civilization VII

The English page places her in the Hall of History Collection, a bundle of two leaders and three civilizations. The footnote says the content is included in that collection, that owning it means you already own her, and that the base game is required. That requirement is not a base-game tag. The catalog chip is the collection. The Chinese URL does not yet translate the bundle name; the translated Babylon and Gauls pages in the same bundle call it by the Chinese name used on the chip.^{[4] [5]}

The first step back from the ability is to keep 7 September 1533, the imprisonment under Mary, 17 November 1558, the settlement of 1559–1563, and 24 March 1603 apart from a trade route. The published England essay is her kingdom. The published Great Britain essay begins its dated union later.^{[1] [2] [3] [4]}
